Ren'Py currently can't do this in any half-decent way. The only matrix colour operations available are image manipulators. They can't be applied 'live' so you can't e.g. make a Transform that turns everything grey. Now, to get around the 'defining individual images' part, here's a hack I wrote. It i...

Sure, that's just something like:
textbutton "click me" action [SetVariable("a", 1), SetVariable("b", 2)]

You don't want most of that code, just $renpy.movie_cutscene("opening.avi") If it doesn't work, the issue is with the video. First, the video needs to have an audio track. It also needs to have video and audio created with the correct codecs. Once you have that sorted out just renpy.movie_...

90% of adverbs can go in this list too. And you don't need to replace them, just take them out.

Buttons are a little more complex if you want them to interact properly with Ren'Py's focus mechanisms, because that stuff is undocumented, but you can look at the Ren'Py source for things like Button to get an idea of how to do it.

Show Expression. A variant of the show statement replaces the image name with the keyword expression, followed by a simple expression. The expression must evaluate to a displayable, and the displayable is shown on the layer. To hide the displayable, a tag must be given with the as statement. For ex...

1) Choices along the route? I think you basically gave the answer yourself. It allows for more endings. Hence, mid-route choices should be included depends on whether your story calls for additional outcomes. For example, in a thriller VN, you'll often want to throw in 'dead ends', choices that can...

My suspicion would be that you have a variable named 'ease' somewhere.

Try creating a new 'name_only' character the same way you create your regular characters, like you can create a new 'narrator'.

name_only

One way is a screen.
Then just show it at the start (after you've initialised 'money' to something so it doesn't error):

Well, you could perhaps call the action as a function
$Hide("test01", transition=Dissolve(2.0))()

I mean, 'show screen' statement doesn't support with either, so I don't know why hide screen would

Simultaneous timers work fine. I don't know what the problem is because I lack all the information (specifically, the implementations of ChipAtHP, WinningConditions and LosingConditions) but I have a feeling things aren't happening in exactly the way you think they are happening. It may be helpful t...

For some reason I find the character art really appealing and will probably play it for that reason alone.

Snowflake might make more sense as a nickname, though.

It is most likely hidden beneath the background.

Basically, in a screen everything is drawn in order, so stuff that happens later goes over stuff that happens earlier. e.g.
add "a.png"
add "b.png"
b.png will go over a.png.

So you just need to move that code down.
